+	The valid range is 0 - 255; the default value is 1. A value of 0

+	This option is useful for bonding modes balance-rr or 0,
+	active-backup or 1, balance-tlb or 5, balance-alb or 6, which a
+	failover can move the IGMP traffic from one slave to another.
+	Therefore, the switch must be notified with an extra IGMP report
+	to start forwarding the IGMP traffic over the new selected slave.
